The Curriculum

In line with most primary schools, Filton Hill offers pupils the full range of core and foundation subjects and R.E. In YR pupils work to the Foundation Stage curriculum and corresponding goals. "Learning through play" is our aim.
From Y1 upwards we deliver a daily Literacy and Numeracy session, usually each morning. These subjects are well planned and well delivered by all staff. Assessments show that pupils progress in line with or better than their potential.
Science is also a successful subject at Filton Hill. We are also very proud of our ICT capability. We have a superb computer suite which is used by all pupils weekly. ICT skills of both staff and pupils are very good.
All pupils currently follow the R.E. syllabus although parents have the right to withdraw their child(ren) from this subject if their beliefs differ. Lessons in R.E. include the study of a variety of faiths, handling artefacts and visits to places of worship. Back to top

Special Needs at Filton Hill

We are especially proud of the facilities we offer to ALL pupils here but none more so than those with special needs. This may be for support in areas of concern or where a pupil has extra abilities. The team is lead by Miss Ward, ably assisted by all teachers and Learning Support Assistants. Individual programmes are tailored to need and may be delivered in class alongside the "normal" curriculum or in small or individual withdrawal groups.
Miss Ward will be pleased to discuss issues privately with parents on request. Back to top
